Generators repair speed

[Mark]

Are two people repairing two generators together faster than two people repairing two separate generators?

[ASpazNamedSteve :]]

I assume you mean 'two people repairing ONE generator together'? If so, no. Two people repairing 2 different generators is faster.

[Mr. K]

Nope. Its more efficient to repair gens separately.

[Runiver]

For every survivor repairing the same gen, you get a 10% repair penalty.
2 survivors on the same gen : 180% repair speed (90% x2)
3 survivors on the same gen : 240% repair speed (80% x3)
4 survivors on the same gen : 280% repair speed (70% x4)

So basically, spliting up is faster, and also safer.

It depends on what you assume to be "faster".

If you mean faster as "more gens done per minute", then the latter is true.

If you mean faster as "finishing a gen faster", then the former is true.

I think it's just a bit better for progress if they work separately

3/4 people on a generator doesn't make any sense unless you're trying to rush the last 2 or something

Just to expand on the last part of this. Everyone working separately on gens is also more efficient in the sense of when a killer finds someone.

So if a killer finds 2 survivors on a gen, they both have to leave and run away. The killer will give chase, and likely kick the gen, or try to guard it, which means 2/4 survivors are now off gens entirely. Compare that to if those same 2 survivors are on different gens. The killer does the same thing to one survivor, but the other gets to stay on a gen because they're elsewhere on the map.

Technically speaking, it's the same. 1 person does a gen in ~80s, 2 do it in ~40s. So either each does a separate gen at 80s, or they team up and do 2 gens at 40s each (so 80s total). However doing separate gens is faster only because they don't need to travel from 1 gen to the next.

Yup that's what I meant by "safer".
Additionally, it's more efficient if you try to power through ruin, too.

That's wrong, as stated above. You get a time penalty for repairing as 2. Repairing as 2 players is approx 44ish seconds.

Actually 2 people is like 44 seconds or something

The only time it would generally be better for multiple survivors to work on the same gen would be when there's only 1 gen left to be done, and you know the killer is taking someone to a hook as an example. 2 people working on that last gen will help to power the exit gates a lot sooner under a scenario like that
